1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The bumper beam is an important device to ensure the safety of the car, which can effectively alleviate the force and absorb energy when the car collides. Traditional bumper beams are mostly made of high-strength steel, which has high strength and a low production cost but a heavy weight. With the requirement of being lightweight, high-strength steel is not able to meet the needs of lightweight cars, and composite materials have become the answer to the problem of a light weight in cars due to their excellent performance of being lightweight and high strength. This article introduces the case study on materials of bumper beams and presents the application of traditional materials and composite materials in bumper beams. Then, the fabrications and processes of bumper beams, a performance assessment, experimental tests, and a finite element analysis of the bumper beam are carried out. This paper also represents the study of optimization in automobile bumper beams.
